Tang Xinyi knelt on the ground and heard this sentence with surprise and surprise on his face. He quickly passed through his mind, what is the great character in Taiyuan? To make the prince so angry, he went to Taiyuan this time, and did not neglect who is...
Before Tang Xinyi could figure out the reason, he fell to the ground firmly and humbly confessed his guilt: "It's not good to be a slave. The slave is stupid, I don't know what wrong I made, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear."
"You're in the city, have you bumped into... a child?"
Tang Xinyi thought back for a moment, and then vaguely remembered: "Your Highness actually said this?" He was even more surprised now, Tang Xinyi's surprise was beyond words, Qin Yi saw it, and looked at it with a cold face, without saying a word or laughing. he.
Tang Xinyi's hands and feet were cold, and his back couldn't stop sweating. He bowed his head respectfully on the ground again, and said, "The servant was eager to find His Highness at that time, so he was negligent. This is not good for servants. If it is contaminated with human life, it will damage His Highness's reputation."
"Tang Xinyi, you often follow me out of the customs to chase down the Tatar barbarians. You should know that it is not easy for the people at the border. I am guarding the customs in Datong, just to ensure the peace of the people. I don't want to see anyone from the East Palace working in the interior. I'll do what I'm doing to kill people. Otherwise, I'll treat you the same way I do to the Tartars."
This time, the other servants in the room couldn't stand up anymore. Tang Xinyi even kowtowed three times, his face almost on the ground, and said, "It's a slave, you should die, the slave will go to receive the punishment."
After all, Tang Xinyi is a meritorious minister, and Qin Yi will not cut Tang Xinyi's face by ignoring him after beating. Qin Yi turned back to read the military newspapers. He swept through the two Di newspapers handed over by the next man before he said lightly, "Get up."
Tang Xinyi thanked him and slowly stood up from the ground, and the others outside the house also stood up. Tang Xinyi hunched over and waited for a while, but the prince didn't say a word, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions. Sure enough, after Qin Yi approved a few military reports, he suddenly asked, "What other people did you meet in Taiyuan?"
Tang Xinyi carefully pondered Qin Yi's intentions. The prince was testing whether he had formed a party or not? Tang Xinyi replied carefully, "The servant only saw the Marquis of Changxing, and the servant bumped into the young lady of the Marquis of Changxing on the street that day. It's not good to say nothing."
Qin Yi listened and sneered: "It's good that you know. What did the Marquis of Changxing say?"
ah? Tang Xinyi became more and more confused, what and what, what did the prince want to hear? Rao is that Tang Xinyi has been up and down in the harem for many years, and now he can't understand the master's mind. He can only guess and say: "The Marquis of Changxing said it's okay, and he asked his servants to say hello to His Highness."
Qin Yi put down his pen forcefully, raised his head and glanced at Tang Xinyi coldly. These minions couldn't tell the point after going over and over again. Qin Yi could only ask again: "You said you bumped into the girl from the Marquis of Changxin, what's going on?"
"It's the same thing as that child." Tang Xinyi thought that the prince didn't understand the connection, and quickly explained, "It's still too fast for the slave to ride horses, so why don't a child suddenly run out of the middle of the road, and the slave can't stop, so he just Can forcibly turn the horse's head. The young lady in their family moved quickly and pulled the child away directly. This girl from Changxinghou is interesting, and the young lady dared to stare at the servant when the servant left."
"Heh." Qin Yi laughed and asked, "Why, can't you stare?"
Chu Jinyao even dared to stare at him, how dare Tang Xinyi object
Tang Xinyi heard that the master's tone was not right, sweating like rain, he hurriedly lowered his head, and his waist almost bent to the ground: "Naturally stare. It is the slave who is at fault, and the slave should be punished."
Seeing that Tang Xinyi's words were still decent, Qin Yi was finally willing to raise his hand and let Tang Xinyi go down to receive the punishment. "Okay, you can go down. The army sticks will be taken by yourself. If you let me know that you should cooperate inside and outside, and work together to cheat..." Qin Yi did not continue what he said next, but Tang Xinyi already understood.
"Slave dare not. Slave kneels down to Your Highness, Your Highness is blessed."
Xiao Linzi was stunned beside him, what did Tang Xinyi do to make the Prince so angry? According to the rules in the palace, there are both false and true. With Tang Xinyi's status, no one dared to actually beat the eunuchs who executed them. Except for the prince.
The 20th Army sticks are hard to beat, even if Tang Gonggong has studied Neijia Kungfu, I am afraid it will not be easy to endure.
Tang Xinyi faced the prince and went out backwards. He is a slave, and it would be disrespectful to turn his back to His Highness. After walking away, Tang Xinyi quietly turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Tang Xinyi was about to go out when suddenly he heard the prince say again, "Stop."
Tang Xinyi stopped immediately, turned around and stood respectfully, "What's your Highness' order?"
"You come back and collect these twenty military sticks. Now, go to Taiyuan and do something for me."
Qi Desheng personally watched the guy lock the warehouse, and then went to the store to inspect the store again. After confirming that there were no omissions, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to his house.
He was served by someone and changed his clothes, and then he asked his precious son, and then he sent everyone off and went to the study to settle accounts.
He has been in business for many years, and the ancestral property of the Qi family has been doubled in his hands. In his grandfather's generation, the Qi family was just a small cloth merchant selling on the street. Now, semicolons have opened all over Shanxi, and there are three stores in Taiyuan alone. Even Qi Desheng spent a lot of money on making connections, but he just came back with the name of a royal businessman for himself. Qi Desheng's business talent far surpassed that of his grandfather and father, and he has achieved achievements that his grandparents never dared to imagine. It's a pity that he is in the shopping mall, and he is also a famous person when he speaks out, but he is only stuck in the heir.
He is over forty years old, and he doesn't have a child under his knees, not to mention a son, not even a daughter, so he can't find a way to find someone to break in. Fortunately, the 10,000 taels of sesame oil he gave to Buddha was not in vain. When Qi Desheng was forty-two, the fourth concubine suddenly became pregnant. Qi Desheng was overjoyed. The concubine straightened up and became his wife. The mother is more expensive than the child, how can his only child be raised by the little mother
Thinking of this, Qi Desheng is still a little scared. His only seedling was almost taken back by God two days ago. Thanks to the fast hand of the lady in Changxing Houfu, otherwise, he would have to follow. It is said that the rootless eunuch is really abominable. He even dared to scare his only seedling, and now Baoer still has nightmares at night.
Qi Desheng opened the door while talking. After he opened the door, he clicked his tongue and said, "Why don't you light the lights, these servants are getting more and more unruly..."
After Qi Desheng got used to the darkness of the room and his eyes could see things, he swept his eyes around and slammed down on the door, his knees softened.
"Big... lord?"
Tang Xinyi was sitting on the most central chair, his face like a dead man sank in the darkness, becoming more and more bizarre. Qi Desheng looked terrified, and he said shiveringly: "My lord, why are you here? Are you here to get filial piety? Hey, wait, I'll get it right away!"
Qi Desheng was about to open the door and go out to retrieve the gold and silver treasures. Tang Xinyi said, "Stop."
This sentence made Qi Desheng dare not move any more. Qi Desheng looked at Tang Xinyi tremblingly, and the experienced merchants of the Shang Dynasty were about to cry in fear at this moment. Tang Xinyi said, "I still don't like your stuff. Come here and I'll order you a few things."
"My lord doesn't want money?" Qi Desheng didn't know whether to worry or worry. He could only say with a smile, "It's a small blessing to be able to do things for your lord! I just don't know what your lord is going to do?"
The next day, Chu Jinyao went to Zhao's place to order a Mao, then went back to his room and sat under the window to do needlework. Now she suddenly has a lot of money in her hands. Silk, silk, cloth and other fabrics are actually full of two boxes. In the past, she had nothing on hand, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she couldn't do anything she wanted to do, but now she has suddenly become rich, and Chu Jinyao has the mind to make clothes that she likes.
She used to like to fiddle with these things, but unfortunately the Su family was poor, and the two sisters’ clothes had to be sewn and mended until they couldn’t wear them. On her head, she relies entirely on the subsidy from the public middle school. How can there be excess fabrics to cause her scourge? It's finally over now, she has two boxes of fabrics, silk, silk, and cotton. No one can blame her for what she wants to do.
Chu Jinyao sighed while threading the needle and thread. Two months ago, she might not have dared to imagine that one day, she would be able to own thirty taels of silver and two wooden boxes of cloth. It's a pity that Qin Yi is gone. She can't tell him these words. What's even more sad is that apart from Qin Yi, Chu Jinyao has no one else to share with such a big house.
After thinking about it, Chu Jinyao was a little lost. The curtain was suddenly opened, and then, Kikyo's voice sounded: "Girl, the old lady sent someone to find you."
Chu Jinyao immediately returned to her senses, she put down the sewing basket, straightened her clothes and walked out. "Why did my grandmother suddenly look for me? Is there anything important?"
The maid who passed the message said with a smile, "You'll know when the girl goes."
Chu Jinyao walked towards the Rongning Hall with a full stomach. When she arrived, she saw a pile of things parked in the yard as soon as she entered. The maids were talking around the mahogany box, and when they saw Chu Jinyao, they shouted in a crisp voice, "Ancestor, the fifth girl is here."
Gu Momo heard the voice long ago. She lifted the curtain for Chu Jinyao and said with a smile, "The fifth girl is here! The ancestor is talking about you."
Chu Jinyao looked at Rongningtang's battle. No matter how she saw it, there were guests. Why did she talk about her when the guests visited? Chu Jinyao leaned into the room, saw the person coming, and said unexpectedly, "Manager Qi?"
"Hey, it's me!" Shopkeeper Qi stood up and cupped his hands, and Chu Jinyao also said good luck. The old lady smiled and beckoned Chu Jinyao to come over: "Manager Qi came to visit on purpose and insisted on thanking you in person."
When Chu Jinyao heard this, she hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper is too polite, but it's just an effort, you don't have to keep it on your mind."
"The girl saved my Laolai and only son. For the girl, this is a small effort, but for me, this is a great kindness." Qi Desheng stood on the ground with a round smile on his face, no wonder he could Make the business so big. Qi Desheng said: "Money is a common thing, but the girl saved my child, how can this be paid off with a few boxes of things? I know that the girl has a noble status and does not lack these things, but as a low-level businessman, apart from these I can't come up with anything else. If the girl doesn't dislike it, just accept it."
Chu Jinyao followed Qi Desheng's gesture and looked out of the window, only then did she realize that the boxes outside were all for her! Chu Jinyao was frightened, she quickly said, "No way, I have already received something from the shopkeeper, how can I accept such a heavy gift?"
Qi Desheng said, "If the girl refuses to accept it, she will look down on me. Although I, Qi Desheng, are a businessman, I know how to repay the kindness of dripping water, not to mention that the girl is in our family, it is a great kindness! If the girl does not accept it, It is to make me an ungrateful person with a heart and a heart."
For the sake of this, what else can Chu Jinyao say? Seeing that Qi Desheng was serious about giving gifts to Chu Jinyao, the old lady sighed in her heart that this person could do business. This is in place. The old lady also said: "Since it's a piece of mind of the shopkeeper Qi, you can just accept it."
The old lady has spoken, Chu Jinyao can only answer. She watched in horror as everyone put the boxes back together and carried them towards her yard one by one. When Qi Desheng saw that Chu Jinyao was finally willing to take things, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, and said to the old lady, "Ancestor, I have another thing that I want to tell Fifth Young Lady."
Mrs. Chu was also surprised, is this not over yet? Seeing that Qi Desheng's appearance did not seem to be fake, she nodded lightly and said, "Gu's family, take the shopkeeper Qi and the fifth girl to Baoxia to talk."
Gu mama should be, and led them sideways to Dongbaoxia. Chu Jinyao and the shopkeeper Qi sat down in Baoxia. Although it was said that women who had not left the cabinet were not suitable to meet foreign men, Qi Desheng was a businessman, and he was over forty years old, so he could be regarded as Chu Jinyao's elder. Besides, the surrounding light was bright, the maid was guarding a few steps away, and Mrs. Chu was watching outside, so no one would gossip. Qi Desheng sat down and said: "Five girls, to tell you the truth, after you rescued the dog, I couldn't sleep for a few days, and I always dreamed of white things. I discussed it with my wife and decided to come again. Let’s go to Hou’s house. I take the liberty to visit today, there are many nuisances, please don’t blame the five girls.”
Chu Jinyao stood up and said, "How dare you."
Qi Desheng continued: "Just now, those things were sorted out from the warehouse by the villain to fill in the makeup for the girl. Although the girl has not yet engaged, I will say this to the girl, which is really offensive. But no matter what I say, it is reasonable. That's the reason, there's no harm in having more money by your side. Girl, I'm rude, so don't laugh at me."
Chu Jinyao smiled: "The shopkeeper is right, I understand."
This shopkeeper Qi is also a wonderful person. Nowadays, there are indeed many literati who look down on businessmen, feel that they are full of copper stench, and are even ashamed to talk about money. But Chu Jinyao is someone who has endured hardship, how can he not understand the importance of money. No matter what the saint said, having money on your body is the last word.
"Since the girl understands, it's easy to handle. I gave the girl these treasures. To put it bluntly, I was grateful for the kindness of the girl, and I sent some money to the girl. But it is said that sitting and eating the mountains, even if there are gold and silver mountains, it will not be spent, so , I also have a newly opened shop under my name, and I want to invite the girl to take a share."
Chu Jinyao was startled when she heard this, she was stunned for a while, and asked, "Is the shopkeeper joking?"
"That's a joke! I really want the girl to become a shareholder. Although the monthly income is not much, I can earn some pocket money for the girl. The girl doesn't need to worry about the stock money. The thank-you gift for you is divided into two halves, one half will be carried to the old lady, and the other half will be converted into shares for you, written as a living deed and brought here." After speaking, Qi Desheng took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, "Look, girl, It's all here."
Chu Jinyao looked at Qi Desheng faintly, almost thinking that the shopkeeper Qi had lost his mind. These business people are very particular, and some say that they are willing to pay, so Qi Desheng gave her a generous thank you, which Chu Jinyao can understand. However, who would make a living out of their own money and give it to others as favors? Not to mention that she was just an outsider, and she rescued the son of the shopkeeper Qi by coincidence. I am afraid that it was the brother of the shopkeeper Qi who shot, and the shopkeeper Qi would not do such a thing.
Chu Jinyao was full of complaints and she couldn't stop talking about it. In the end, she could only smile and say, "The shopkeeper is joking."
Chu Jinyao felt that the shopkeeper Qi said this on purpose, just to show his gratitude and repayment. If she really responded, it would be a joke. Seeing that Chu Jinyao didn't take it seriously, Qi Desheng said quickly, "Girl, who would make a joke about this kind of business? Don't worry about it, I really want to give you a share. That new store is also doing splendid business. , the running water on the account is very beautiful, and the shopkeeper and the account room should be full. It's just that I can't operate new tricks, and I'm gradually overshadowed by other houses, so I asked the girl to give me a face. I heard that the girl is skillful and familiar. Playing with these fabrics, it happens that the girl has no income to live, this is not killing two birds with one stone, the two sides are good!"
The reason sounded right at first glance, but Chu Jinyao always felt that there would be no such good things in the world. Without her contribution, or even without her money, someone is rushing to share the profits of Jinxiu Zhuangzi? Chu Jinyao didn't believe that there were such big people in the world. When Qi Desheng saw that Chu Jinyao was still not convinced, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Chu Jinyao looked at the shopkeeper with earnest eyes, not like joking, so he stood up and said, "I don't dare to be self-reliant, I'll ask the elders."
Qi Desheng responded quickly. Chu Jinyao went out and told Mrs. Chu about this, and Mrs. Chu was surprised when she heard it. Is Zi Desheng crazy? How could anyone so generously use their own shop as a favor
Qi Desheng explained to the old lady both earnestly and with gestures, and also showed the contract to the old lady. The old lady watched it back and forth several times to make sure that Qi Desheng didn't play tricks. It seemed that he really wanted Chu Jinyao to become a shareholder, and it was completely free. Mrs. Chu was a little unsure, so she tried: "The shopkeeper Qi is so enthusiastic that I am very moved. I just don't know, what else does the shopkeeper plan to do?"
"I don't have any plans, I just want to repay the five girls." Shopkeeper Qi was afraid that the old lady thought he had another high-profile plan, so he quickly raised his hand and swore, "Don't worry, the old lady and the girl, I swear by the reputation of our Qijia Buzhuang, if I want to take advantage of it This matter has set up a set for the five girls, I deserve to be scolded by everyone, and I can't keep the ancestral foundation."
A businessman's reputation is already a very heavy oath. The old lady and Chu Jinyao looked at each other and felt that the second monk was confused. Mrs. Chu had to say: "Since the shopkeeper Qi insists on doing this, then the old man will accept it first. When the shopkeeper Qi changes his mind, just come to the old man."
"Qi is a businessman, how could he do such a thing!" Qi Desheng looked at the contract in the old lady's hand, and said, "Qi is sincerely thanking the five girls, and wants to do his best to make his benefactor live a little better. Dare to say anything else, at least, don't be wronged in money."
As soon as the old lady heard it, she understood that Qi Desheng was implying that these were for Chu Jinyao. Mrs. Chu was inevitably a little unhappy when she thought of it this way, but then she felt that it was normal for a businessman to be cautious. So Mrs. Chu put a stack of deed papers in Chu Jinyao's palm and said, "These are given to you by the shopkeeper Qi, you should accept them first. You can't let the shopkeeper Qi repay his gratitude like this. You can't let him down."
Chu Jinyao was holding these things in her hands, and she almost felt her palms get hot. The last time she went out, she saw the Qi family's cloth shop, and she thought about when she would have a silk and satin shop. As a result, this came true
In the evening, Mrs. Chu deliberately talked about this matter with Marquis Changxing. Marquis Changxing carefully read the contract and waited for several days, but did not see any action from Qi Desheng. To send money to Chu Jinyao.
The big shopkeeper of the Qi family, is this going to be a good deed
The fact that Qi Desheng had brought some things to Chu Jinyao soon spread throughout the Hou residence, and in order to quell the trouble, the old lady specially instructed Chu Jinyao not to tell the story of the shop. Chu Jinyao wasn't stupid either. She couldn't hide how big the boxes were, but how could she tell others about the store's business contract
Just the few mahogany boxes she carried in, without knowing what was inside, were enough to make people jealous. If someone knew that she still had a way to make money for a long time, wouldn't she be asking for trouble? The wealth is not revealed, Chu Jinyao understands this very well.
Under the lamp, Chu Jinyao flipped her fingers dexterously, and in a short while she made a knot laced with gold threads. She changed the new luozi to the jade pendant, and said while putting it on, "Qize, do you know that there are really big tycoons in this world who gave me a lot of property for nothing, Zhuangzi! I thank you for Ji Yan, and I will really give you another one. Jinluozi!"
Chu Jinyao laughed as she spoke. She placed the jade pendant upright on the table. Under the light, the golden threads shimmered with golden light, making the lustrous jade quality more eye-catching. She looked at Yu Pei, and the smile on her face faded quickly: "I finally have the ability to change you a new network now, but you are gone. I wish you were still there. Look, there are many people in the back house now. After staring at me, I suddenly got a windfall, how can I not attract attention? Grandma Sun and several other maids in the yard are eager to move, my grandmother's attitude towards me is very strange, and Chu Jinmiao does not hide her. Malicious. I am now like a three-year-old child, walking through the market with a daughter in my arms. Zize, I feel very scared, and where are you?"
After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, there was no one in the room for a long time to answer, only the candlelight danced up and down. She chuckled mockingly and whispered: "I should know, this jade pendant is already a dead thing. If you see me being neglected by the maid, you will come out to help me, and now I really encounter a life crisis, how are you doing? Will you sit back and ignore it? Where on earth have you been, and you won't even say goodbye to me."
She paused for a while before saying: "If you were still here, you would definitely say at this moment that you will solve your own affairs with your own mind. You always say this in your mouth, but in private you want to solve everything for me, I have always known that However, in addition to being stared at this time and conspiring for property, I will encounter housekeeping problems in the future, my mother-in-law will make things difficult, and my husband will take a concubine, but am I the only one left?"
There will be no answer to Chu Jinyao's words. Qin Yi briefly appeared by her side, letting her see the vastness of the sky, and then disappeared into her world without looking back. With him, she was just a small mistake in his life, but to Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi was the only glimpse of her long and pale boudoir life.
"You will definitely live well, although I still don't know where you went." Chu Jinyao finally put away the jade pendant and placed it close to her heart, "I will live well too. You taught me this. Duo, how can I live up to your hard work? I finally have my own shop. Although it is only a shareholding, it is still half the shopkeeper. I can finally take over Sister Su Hui. "
"Look, my wish has come true. Yours will also come true." Chu Jinyao suddenly felt that the lights in front of her were a little flowery, she quickly blinked, and when everything became clear, Chu Jinyao stood up and lowered her head. "Good night, Zize."
The Datong of Yefengshuoshuo, the city wall is hunted with torches and guarded tightly.
"His Royal Highness, we have seen through the night attack of the Tartars, so I don't dare to come today. It's windy in the middle of the night, you should go back and rest first."
Qin Yi looked into the bottomless depths of the desert with a solemn expression. Today, the Tatars entangled a small group of cavalry, and once again attacked Guancheng at night. If he hadn't come to visit the city wall temporarily, they would have been tricked. Qin Yi really wanted to wait until the middle of the night. The Tatars were cunning and shameless. Every time they attacked someone unprepared, they would run away once they attacked. But Qin Yi's body was just waking up after a long illness, and he couldn't stand staying up all night. No matter how unwilling Qin Yi was, he could only nod his head: "Okay, be careful, don't let them take advantage of it."
"Yes, send off Your Highness."
Qin Yi was in the dark, walking on the wall like a hidden beast. The torch beside him jumped suddenly, and Qin Yi seemed to stop.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Qin Yi regained his senses, why did he feel that he heard Chu Jinyao's voice? Qin Yi shook his head, and his voice was blown away in the night wind as soon as he exited: "Nothing. Maybe it's time for me to rest."
